ok time to break in this new section of the forums. considering what we know about this new film. will this film be a romantic comedy or a melodrama? the article that was posted about the movie said it will have "an equal amount of comedy and drama."

A romcom with a strong message element.........it'll tug at the heart strings........both characters will maintain the facade of moving on when their hearts are still together........the aching of lost love etc..........then the inevitable make-up........so we'll be rooting for them, and crying for their loss........then rejoicing at their arrival..........lol........

i could be totally wrong though..........i really have no idea..........lol

I think (and hope) it's going to be a little Comedy Light with a spine. Not only 'fun', but a film that has something to say without the laugh-moments because of the good writing.

I just hope they find the right tone & spirit, that they don't loose the charm the European film has and it doesn't turn in a typical Hollywood comedy (nothing wrong with a 'Bruce' though) with a trow-up finger pointing at the over-clear message. Nothing wrong with a 'Bruce Almighty', but this has the potential to be a lot more then that. And with this director/writer I stronlgy believe they could succeed!

well if i read one of the articles right.....it is going to be produced by focus pictures, the ones who brought ESOTM. so i think it will go along the lines that Eternal Sunshine did but with a little more comedy to it. but i think will probably be wrong.

It's a good thing, Focus. I have the feeling the label garanties you it's a quality film. The reason? Brick, Brokeback Mountain, Eternal Sunshine, the Motorcycle Diaries, 21 Grams, Lost in Translation, the Pianist, Far from Heaven, Broken Flowers...
